Chris Herring has always been deep into metal music with a progressive edge. He started learning classical guitar at the age of 12 and became inspired to play rock in his teens. Chris Herring is a veteran of the DFW music scene, most notably playing bass for Tx-based DREAMSTATE (1989-2008), and both playing and writing music for experimental prog metal band POWER OF OMENS. (2000-2005)
Chris met and befriended Wayne Stokely around 2010 when he played with MILLENNIAL REIGN for one year. They stayed in touch, hoping for an opportunity to write original music together. The timing was not right until 2017 when Infidel Rising approached Chris to fill in as bassist during their support performance for FATE’S WARNING @ Trees.
He had 7 days to learn the material and nailed it! Not long after, Chris joined the band permanently. “Chasing the Sun” was one of the first complete songs he collaborated on. The rest is history!

A.J.’s arrival marks a fresh surge of talent within our ranks. His extraordinary ability to meld complex compositions with intense melodic shredding perfectly complements our vision for the future of Modern Progressive/Power Metal.
